Security Operations Manager Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a security operations manager in Texas?
The Texas Department of Public Safety's Private Security Bureau requires security managers working in Texas to hold a valid manager-level license, which involves a background check, completing approved training hours, and passing the state examination. Most candidates pursue this after earning a bachelor's degree in criminal justice or security management and accumulating several years of on-the-ground security experience. Professional certifications such as the CPP strengthen candidacy for senior roles at larger Texas employers.
How much do security operations managers make in Texas?
Security operations managers in Texas earn a median of about $46,740 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $23,940 for the lowest 10% to over $89,960 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire security operations managers in Texas?
Employers hiring security operations managers in Texas right now include Allied Universal, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, and Oracle, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Texas's concentration of energy headquarters, defense contractors, and large health systems creates consistent demand across the state, particularly for candidates with sector-specific security experience.
Which Texas cities have the most security operations manager jobs?
Houston, Austin, and Dallas have the most security operations manager openings in Texas. Houston's energy sector and port operations drive significant demand there, Dallas attracts corporate headquarters and financial services firms requiring enterprise security leadership, and San Antonio's large military installations and USAA headquarters create a steady pipeline of management-level security roles throughout the metro.
Are there remote security operations manager jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Security operations managers typically oversee physical sites, personnel, and on-site systems, which limits full-time remote arrangements. About 29% of security operations manager openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to be positions focused on policy development, vendor management, or cybersecurity-integrated oversight rather than hands-on physical security programs.
How can I get hired as a security operations manager in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a security operations coordinator or shift supervisor role at a large Texas employer, then building toward a manager title over time. Major Texas healthcare systems, energy companies, and defense contractors regularly hire security officers and dispatch operators as entry points. Obtaining your Texas Private Security Bureau officer license early and pursuing a Certified Protection Professional certification gives you a measurable edge when applying for step-up roles.
Where can I find and apply to security operations manager jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to security operations manager jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings from employers actively hiring in the state. Find roles that fit your experience and credentials and apply directly to the employers posting them.
